Hi Jane,
yes i had my op at my local spire hospital. it was more expensive than elsewhere but it will make things easy for follow up appointments.
you only have a few days to go. keep at the diet it is a great kick start to the weight loss.

Apologies for my other post it was sent via my iphone, lol. I'm home, got woken up before 6am!! Given coffee & smooth yoghurt then driver came to take me home, I arrived about 8.20 am, just in time to see my boys before school.
I'm in quite a bit of pain from the gas, been taking windeze and nurofen melts. I walked down our garden with hubby & our dog but it keeps raining so UI'm stuck walking around the house. I had a nap at 10 am & got up at 2pm but I'm still tired! Did anyone else feel like this?

Hey Sharon,
Glad you are back home now. It will be uncomfortable for a week or so! Did you have a band or a bypass?
Just take your time with things, don't rush to do stuff cos you need to allow your body time to heal.
Not sure if I have mentioned it already but Bio Oil is great to help the scars heal and stop itching.
I had pain in my sides and wasn't sure what it was.... Eventually I realised that it was hunger! Look out for that one!
I also had a fleeting feeling of anger when the hunger came back and I couldn't eat... But you get used to it and then when you see the results.....it's GREAT!!
Good luck and I wish you a speedy recovery.
Luv Sally x

hi sharon,
glad to hear you are home.
you will feel completely knackered for a couple of days and the pain will lessen over a few days. i took paracetamol and voltarol for the first couple of days, after that i was ok without painkillers.
take it easy and get plenty of rest, and remember to drink as much as you can.
